3 Packers starters who could be benched by end of training camp

1. Josh Myers is already in danger of losing his job at Packers training camp

A second-round pick in the 2021 draft for the Packers, Josh Myers was the starting center in the 2022 season, playing more than 1,000 snaps for Green Bay. That comes after entering the fray as a rookie with just under 300 snaps at center in the 2021 campaign.

But early on in training camp, it seems like Matt LaFleur and the coaching staff aren’t satisfied with what they’ve been seeing. Most recently, the expected right tackle for this group, 2022 rookie standout Zach Tom, lined up in front of Jordan Love at center for numerous reps during Tuesday’s practice.

LaFleur was asked by the media as to why that was the case and his big sticking point was looking for more consistency, though he did throw in some coach-speak about Myers having been good for the Packers.

The fact that LaFleur and the Green Bay coaching staff are already looking at other options with the first-team offense at center and talking about consistency does not bode well for Myers.

Getting the right center snapping the football to Jordan Love is crucial for the Packers, perhaps one of the most underrated aspects of a young quarterback’s development. If the team believes Myers isn’t the right guy, then it’s all but certain that they will exhaus every possible option to find the right guy instead of him.

Given his experience and versatility to move out to guard as well, it’s likely that Myers’ spot on the 53-man roster isn’t in jeopardy. Whether he lines up at center come Week 1, however, is being put very much in doubt.
